Eager is a sergeant in DOMREC’s X-ray Company. His fire team is running a roadblock to stop the escape of the triangles.

He is the leader of the fireteam (a 4 person Army group, 2 Fireteams and a squad leader make up a squad). The Fireteam consists of:

Eager's helmet

"They got one," he called. "Triangle host trying to get on I-75 on-ramp. Cope said to stay sharp. They're sending the backup units to reinforce the on-ramp in case there's more, so we are on our own for a bit."

Unfortunately, Sgt. James Eager lost his life in the battle against the Triangles. The last view of Sgt. Eager is his helmet lying next to the road.
